MTT's are the stonecold nuts 
the excitement of running deep can't be beaten in poker imo 
Thanks btw 
It took me 2 months to complete my first bankroll challenge. Part 2 will be harder as we will build 7500$, starting from 1500$. I've decided to pull all my money out of all my accounts, and put everything on PokerStars so I decently can keep track of my progress.
Bankroll challenge: The Sequel!
Starting Bankroll: $1500
Games: MTT's and cashgames.
BRM: 100 BI BRM for MTT's and 30-ish BI BRM for cash (if I beat the limit).
Deadline: 01/09/2017
I'm giving myself a year to complete this thing. I'm not a professional poker player so I'll be happy if I ever complete it but a year seems good enough of a challenge to do so!
I will commit myself to studying, reviewing sessions and hands and posting alot. Especially the cashgame-grind must get a bigger focus as at this point I'm too inclined to start off a session of MTT's and don't botter for the rest, this is my main issue that has to be resolved at this moment.
Never lucky...

Well, the first 2 days were pretty brutal to me. I had loads of time so I figured I could spend alot of time grinding but it really backfired. I wanted to test the waters on NL25 and boomed at first but then the 4 BI profit I had melted like snow! I'm going to play NL10 for now as I'm not feeling confident on NL25 yet, although I'm rolled for it. Also every hand I get allin in tourneys are getting crushed.
BR: $1394.90
I'm taking a small break now and I'll play a small NL10 session later on!
Hi guys! Small update. I've decided to cut back my max buy-in to 7.5 with the exception of the major 11 ones. I don't feel comfortable shotting at the 16.5$ level with only 1.3k bankroll. Although doing that is the same as shotting 7.5's with a 400$ bankroll but it just feels like more money so I'd better not. I can also make enough volume on the lower stakes so that shouldn't be a problem.
Also exciting news: I'm playing Day 2 of Mini-WCOOP 40 at 4pm and I have a big stack! Good luck to me!
Pretty brutal start of the day, only one orbit in this happens:

I showed him and he said he folded JJ. I find it hard to believe but if it's true, it's sick
The first hour of Day 2 is in the books!
Started with 497k, now 536k. Playing 2.5k/5k/625 and I'm 37/220.
Probably not the best river bet but he is capable of folding a decent K here and all the draws have hit throughout the runout so I guessed I would get it through alot.

45bb left.
New table, full of funplayers but my stack shrank to 800k (20bb) after losing a pot on a terrible runout of the board. I'll have to find some help quickly...
Ended in 25th... I did my first loose resteal on the bb and got snapped by AKo and I didn't got there 
Got very unlucky the last 1.5 hour, I didn't hit ANY flops so yeah not much we can do.
